Looks like we may have been on the  ball with this one check out earlier post, Steve Jobs launched the iPad this evening. Even though it won’t be available for another 60+ days there is already an  iPad website.
The tablet does seem to have some good applications and features although we will have to wait and see if we get the chance to do a full hands on review

The site also has some good video content explaining this new device and also features “Jony Ive” the maestro of design at Apple.

With this new devices footprint and ability to utilise current apps looks like lots of interesting developments/opportunities ahead for lots of businesses including travel.

As Jony says

” This defines our vision, our sense of what is next!”
